This Week at The Table
As personality types go, I tilt toward “Type A”. One of the implications of that is limited tolerance for just “hanging out”. I have a constant undercurrent of needing to get things done. I’ve kind of had to learn the value (and the pleasure) of “the hang”.
There is some comfort in knowing that I’m not the only one. In fact, as far as I can tell, there have been people to whom this aspect of life doesn’t come naturally for about as long as…there have been people! And in our frenetic 21st century world, more and more of us seem to need a bit of a nudge toward just chilling a bit.
So this Sunday at The Table we’re going to explore, in a laid back sort of way, the value of “doing not much”. If I invite you to come and join the community at 10:30 on Sunday morning, is that going to add stress to your life? Sorry…come out anyway, if you can.
Stuff To Look Forward To:
Party at The Plett Ranch: THIS SUNDAY!
NOTE:this is a “come when you can, stay until you wish / need to leave” gathering. Don’t hesitate to come late if you need to, or to just come for a part of the time.
Details: Arrival starting at 3:30, pot luck meal around 6:00. Come and hang out inside or outside, around a fire in the evening if weather permits. Enjoy some ping pong, fooz ball, or pool, or slackline, climbing wall, and badminton. Sit on the deck and relax and just enjoy lots of good people to talk to. Our kids are excited to get a Capture the Flag came going with anyone who would like to play (:
Pot luck details – hot dish, salad or desert. BYOB or a shareable beverage. We’ll make sure there are buns and one of the hot dishes…you take it from there. Please RSVP to this email if possible, but show up even if you forget to reply.
Directions: North on Highway 59 (over the Floodway), East on Garven Road (at the traffic lights), North on Highway 206 (at the Stop sign) past the East Gate of Birds Hill Park, East on Sapton Road (the first signed road after the East Gate), then North on Birchwood Drive (the first signed road on your left on Sapton). We are the forth driveway on the right (driveway #47).
Kid’s Table: Currently, we have Kid’s Table gatherings slated for this Sunday (the 28th) as well as October 12th and 26th, and November 9th and 23rd.
Pancake Breakfast: before our gathering on October 19th, starting at 9:00 a.m. We might still need more bacon or other such heartiness. Check the white board at The Table.
I think that’s it for now. See you on Sunday!
Peace,
Tim Plett
